Today's title seems a foolish question. But, it's not the case in Japan.
When Japanese people read the words 'mental health', the words reminds them of melancholy in working place.
But, the contents of the article refers to mental disorder caused by death or birth of family members.
It shows how UK people take more seriously about family issues than working issues, while most of the Japanese think about working more earnestly than their families.
Japanese workers are so scared of being 'derailed' from their companies' 'promotion track' that they are devoted to keep them on the track. If you are a non-Japanese/non-Korean reader, you won't understand what I wrote. Before talking about the issue in Japan, I have to explain preconditions in Japan.
Here are impressions about job in Japan.
Changing job multiple times: it's regarded as 'idle', 'low-motivated to continue something', 'keeping low-wage'(If we change job within Japan, our wage will drop with high possibility)
The way to get paid more: to stay in the same company for a longer time. Pay-rise happens every year as long as we obey what our boss says.
So, simply, the best way to get more paid is to stay in the same company longer and longer, and obey boss even if he/she says unreasonable things. It causes the problem that "I'd like to quit job, but can't to earn enough money to support my family." When it goes beyond limitation, workers will get melancholy or mental disorder.
The best way to solve the problem is to change the wage system? I don't know.
